And I really like how my stomach has flattened. I don't think my thighs changed much, which is a bummer. I need more time to describe how my body has changed. But here are pictures.

Hello Plawless, I am glad that you made it through your surgery and I am praying that your recovery continues without any complications. Just a little encouragement about lipo of thighs, it's a very slow process! Hopefully, your PS was able to remove an adequate amount of fat in your thighs. If so, due to gravity the thighs hold onto the fluid/swelling the longest! Especially, if you had other areas lipoed at the same time. Be very patient with your thighs! Happy recovery!

Thank you for the enouraging words. I am already planning another lipo surgery, after 6 months. I have been reading a lot of articles which have mentioned that extremely fatty areas should have traditional liposuction. Again, I thank you for your encouragement of patience.

Today is the day

I am excited and scared. It is 5:10am, my surgery is scheduled for 11am. I have been up since around 3am and all I can think of is I have everything for the next couple days of recovery. I have a sizable hotel room. Yesterday was my meeting with the surgeon. I felt comfortable with him and his nurse. He said I may have to come back to final up my procedure. Urgh, any better way to say I have obtained a lot of fat. I have picked up all of my meds. The doctor added a blood pressure med because my pressure was a little high. That was new because I have never been told that by my primary physician. Guess I will look into this with her. My ride is secured. Just hope he remembers. Not much in the way support from friends and family and that concerns me. Of course, I have only told 3 of my friends who are not close, in location, to me.

Sitting here going over my notes from yesterday.
The doctor said recovery will take 6 months. I will be somewhat healed after 3 months. I can start working out, lightly, after 1 week. But, if I have to come back to have my procedure completed, then that pushes out. After looking at the before pictures that were taken, I am going to be more diligent in my diet and exercising.

I hope that everything goes well. It is very hard to care for yourself the 1st few days so I am truly praying for your strength hun. You can and will get through this. Hugs!!!!...by the way, what does he mean you have to come back to get procedure completed? What are they doing today?

Thank you for the hugs!! Initially and again at the pre-op visit, they were concerned that they were going to have to do the abs and waist in one visit and my thighs a week later. Their concern was that they were going to collect 6000cc's, which I was told was the max they are allowed to take in one visit. I am not sure but, I am positive they safely :), the doctor was able to complete my thighs and stay within the 6000cc's.
